Copyright (c) 2012 Super A-Mart When you set out to decorate your house with a goal of remaining within the confines of a specific budget, it is often easier to start with the higher priced items first and leave the accent pieces and small accessories to last. It may be helpful to you to make a priority list. At the top of your priority list should be a high quality mattress. Feeling your best each day depends, in part, on how well you sleep each night. In order to acquire a good quality mattress without going over budget, you can look for a mattress sale on different brands of mattresses. Once you have created a comfortable place to sleep you can add other bedroom furniture and bedding accessories. Shopping seasonal sales is an excellent way to get beautiful bedding ensembles at budget friendly prices. If your budget is tight, minimalistic decorating can be your chosen form of decor. Opt for a decor that beautifully blends a variety of furniture styles so that you can take advantage of furniture closeouts, discount furniture stores and clearance sales when buying furniture. Don't overlook the treasures that can be found at used furniture stores, consignment sites, auctions, flea markets and possibly a family member or friend's basement or attic. Keep in mind that a piece of furniture may look as if it's beauty has vanished over time but a coat of paint can transform that item into a beautiful accent piece for your home. Although they seem like small additions to your home, homewares can chomp away at your designated budget. Kitchen gadgets are often impulse buys. Limit the number of small appliances you acquire and only add to your kitchen the number of dishes and pieces of cookware that are practical for your lifestyle. Choose homeware items that are both decorative and useful. Wall shelving units, decorative hooks, baskets, boxes and a variety of organizational systems can help you stay organized while being used as decorative features in your home. You can often find items around your home that can be reinvented in some way to become a new item of decor. Lamps, rugs and accent pillows can be switched from room to room to create a different look without spending any money. Accent tables and chairs can often be relocated and their purpose altered. When you're decorating on a budget, don't feel pressured to decorate your entire house at once. Divide the project up so that decorating your home becomes a pleasurable adventure rather than a stress experience. Always keep an open mind for unusual ways to use ordinary items. Shopping seasonal sales is a great way to get colour specific items at discounted prices.
